The programme 'Dealing with extreme emotions was created for first-year students of Psychology at Maastricht University. In the programme, students practice conversation skills in TrainTool. In online video role-plays, they get to know a client with whom they are going to perform a psychological test. The communication around the test does not run smoothly and it is up to the students to maintain control in the conversation and put the client at ease. They record themselves on video and a teacher gives them feedback. Each year, 400 students practise their skills with the programme, something that is impossible with traditional role-plays in the classroom.Not just a cognitive learning tool
Teacher Reinier Kreutzkamp of Maastricht University is a convinced user of TrainTool in his education. Kreutzkamp: "With video, you can really show how something should be done. But you can also put the student in the middle of a real life situation. This way, you have a learning tool that is not only cognitive, but in which you have to learn to regulate your own emotions. With TrainTool, you actually create a kind of laboratory situation in which students can practice skills."
